It just feels wrong to abruptly unplug the power of a 4-5 figure live device I guess.

They generally don't have spinning disks, and aren't constantly writing data, which are the main things that can go wrong when you yank power on a device.

As above, they generally don't do that much - they boot the OS from flash and then load the config, and the whole thing lives in RAM. Routers are starting to have shutdown buttons on them now though.

George H.W. oval office posted:The DNS haiku has reared it’s ugly head twice now in the last couple days. Some chucklehead created a DNS record for localhost.company.com that doesn't resolve to the loopback address so we can't use "localhost" on any machine that has company.com in the search domain. Nobody can tell me why it was created, and we can't remove it unless we can prove it won't break anything.

"You can't make any changes until you prove that it won't break anything." Good luck with your "never make changes again" approach. Internet Explorer fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Aug 15, 2018 |

Set up a pdns recursor daemon on every host and write in a lua handler for localhost.company.com that immediately returns 127.0.0.1 and maintain eye contact.

The hosts file should be checked before the request even goes out to DNS, so that's a strange one

Finalized my travel to MS Ignite. Detouring into Houston on Sunday to go to the NY Giants game then flying to Orlando that night. Flying home Friday morning since its my wife's birthday and I missed it the past couple years due to this conference. Interested in a goon meetup and if anyone wants to hit up Disney one night I can bring in a couple guests with my passes.

Last year we played hooky on Friday and hit up Animal Kingdom for the day. I bet my boss wants to do the same again this year. I don't fly out until Saturday afternoon though, I like to stop at Disney Springs in the morning and hit Morimoto's for one last meal on the company card before I head home. This year though I turn around and head back to Orlando 6 days later for our 9 day WDW trip with the family. edit: I was wrong, they're not limiting booze, "one drink at a time" is the clarification. skipdogg fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Aug 15, 2018 |

Do all of these vendors independently choose to call their conferences Ignite, or is there some Ignite org that works with each of them? AWS Ignite, Palo Alto Ignite, Microsoft Ignite, maybe others?

First day was a goddamn whirlwind. This is going to be quite a transition from in house to MSP. They use freshdesk and keseya and it seems ok. I was also assured engineering project work is my target after the helpdesk period so my rage has subsided a bit.

nullfunction posted:E: Look at what that DNS record resolves to, check your logs to see what's connecting to it, go unfuck the configuration on those boxes. Collateral Damage posted:While really stupid, it shouldn't actually create problems unless the local resolver is retarded or misconfigured, it should always check hosts before using DNS and hosts should always have an entry for localhost. Some of the machines in question are mainframe LPARs, and they either don't have a HOSTS file or it's empty. Also, they're under such heavy change control that I can't easily go in and fix this. It was easier to change my code to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

Kaseya is pretty cool, the only real problem with it is that it's agent based and there is a couple things out there that cause the agent to hang. Kaseya's official work around is to reboot the server when you can't force kill it (it hangs on 'stopping' usually)

Then he had a kid so now its not as weird. I also have somebody I went to high school with that later came out as a gay bear type dude and he goes solo and takes pictures with all the people in costumes and its just amusing.

My in-laws live in Florida and are retired, they get passes and are there multiple times A WEEK. It's completely bizarre and inscrutable to me.

I don't have much access or visibility into that, but it's got the capacity for a lot of automation and reporting too. We got rid of Altiris and WSUS years ago and use Kaseya for all Windows patching (servers and workstations) as well.

Mrs. Schadenboner just texted me that she's reconsidering the wisdom of going to Disney World next year (in loving July) in favor of "just lying on a beach for a week somewhere".![]() E: Just to clarify that we have a roughly Disney-aged kid (even though he's not real big on any of their stuff), we're not one of those creepy Disney people.
